About Dr. Lisa Cooney

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring 25 years of compassionate experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a welcoming, affirming space for clients navigating diverse experiences, including stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and LGBTQ+ concerns.

I specialize in helping individuals explore self-love, communication dynamics, life purpose, and healing from challenging experiences. My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each person’s unique journey, with a strong commitment to understanding personal growth, emotional resilience, and transformative healing.

My therapeutic work spans a wide range of focus areas, including social anxiety, relationship challenges, body image, sexuality, chronic health conditions, and multicultural experiences. I’m dedicated to supporting clients through significant life transitions, helping them develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being and personal empowerment.

“Thank you Dr. Lisa for providing me with assistance & instilling confidence within me to make empowered choices in my life & being able to adapt to change much better than before. I highly recommend Dr. Lisa as she makes her clients feel heard & understood.”

“Dr. Lisa is simply amazing. She knows just how to get to the heart of an issue and doesn't shy away from telling you what you need to hear (even if it's not what you want to hear).”

“Outstanding. Transformative. Kind. Supportive. Dr. Cooney has a therapeutic <br /> gift and shares her unique insights in a masterful way. She will help you develop skills to dig deeper, be truly honest (the good and the bad, lol), and carve your own path(s) forward towards a healthy, grateful and meaningful life.”

“Dr. Lisa is the first therapist I've had who really gets me and helps me make progress in my emotional health goals. I never would have thought I could have this close and impactful a relationship with a therapist online, but Dr. Lisa is a total pro. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she has helped me to achieve better mental health than I dreamed was possible.”

“Simply, the best!”

“Dr. Cooney is an outstanding therapist, with compassionate and helpful methods. She is an excellent resource for anyone who is in need of help and also great support for addiction recovery.”

“Dr. Lisa was a very good match for what I was looking for an for what I need in a therapist. She challenges me when I need to be challenged, listens when I need a listener, and checks in with me between sessions to make sure I am making progress. I also get the impression she has customized her approach to our sessions based on my individual needs, which gives me confidence in her abilities and helps me trust her advice.”

“A true professional offering actual solutions.”

“Dr. Lisa is empathic, understanding and incredibly effective. I have never connected so well with a therapist. I was honestly surprised at how well and how quickly she was able to understand and help me. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she has truly helped me change my life for the better.”

“Dr. Cooney is very attentive and provides the therapy format that matched my expectations of how therapy would need to be structured to find value in it. She listened to my desired outcomes, and the things that have worked for me in the past, and modified her approach to our sessions to fit those requests. She follows up between our sessions every now and then to check in and I find that to be going above and beyond considering how many patients she must see. She has also modified her schedule to fit me in when I had a conflict come up a few days before our scheduled session and was able to get it rescheduled quickly so I didn't fall behind in my progress. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Cooney for her combination of professionalism/personalization, and her clear expertise in the subject matters I have wanted to discuss.”

“Dr. Lisa (as she is more commonly called) is a gifted therapist healer / practitioner who truly has the ability to channel exactly what is needed for each of her clients, whether it's traditional talk therapy or something off the beaten path. She is an excellent listener, empathetic, intuitive and sympathetic. She feels things with you. She works to understand.”

“Simply amazing”

“Extremely kind and helpful.”

“Dr Lisa has been great to work with.”

“Dr Lisa Cooney helped we work through two different personal issues. She is very respectful, asks the right questions and refers to the information I previously shared so that all her questions and comments are relevant.”
